Abstract:
[Problem] Provided is a digital camera with which a captured image can be easily recognized through an electronic viewfinder regardless of whether the digital camera is oriented vertically or horizontally. [Solution] The digital camera 1 is provided with a camera body 2 having an imaging lens 2a, an electronic viewfinder 3 for a user to observe the image captured by the imaging lens 2a, a guide mechanism 5 for guiding the vertical movement of the electronic viewfinder 3, and a biaxial rotation mechanism 6 capable of causing the electronic viewfinder 3 to rotate according to the vertical screen position or the lateral screen position. The biaxial rotation mechanism 6 is provided with: a linking part 61 for linking the electronic viewfinder 3 and the guide mechanism 5; a first shaft part 62 for supporting the electronic viewfinder 3 on the linking part 61 so as to be capable of rotating in a first direction; and a second shaft part 63 for supporting the linking part 61 on the guide mechanism 5 so as to be capable of rotating in a second direction.
Abstract:
A digital single-lens reflex camera that can reduce deterioration in image quality due to a camera shake or an object movement and easily pick up an image with a good image quality. In the digital single-lens reflex camera, when a body microprocessor judges that an object speed detected based on a detected object movement is smaller than a threshold value, a conversion lens camera shake correcting device in a conversion lens or a camera body shake correcting device in a camera body is controlled to carry out camera shake correction. If the object speed is equal to or more than the threshold value, the body microprocessor makes a digital signal gain setting unit high in gain so as to increase the ISO sensitivity or makes a shatter speed faster to set a shorter exposure time and has a plurality of images continuously picked up under different exposure conditions.
Abstract:
An image processing technique includes acquiring a main image of a scene and determining one or more facial regions in the main image. The facial regions are analysed to determine if any of the facial regions includes a defect. A sequence of relatively low resolution images nominally of the same scene is also acquired. One or more sets of low resolution facial regions in the sequence of low resolution images are determined and analysed for defects. Defect free facial regions of a set are combined to provide a high quality defect free facial region. At least a portion of any defective facial regions of the main image are corrected with image information from a corresponding high quality defect free facial region.

An image selecting apparatus comprises an input unit 20, an A/D converter 30, a memory 40, a control unit 50, a recording unit 90, and an output unit 92. The input unit 20 continuously photographs a subject and inputs the data of the images. The A/D converter 30 converts the analog signal of the images received from the input unit 20 to digital signals. The memory 40 stores a plurality of images output from the input unit 20. The control unit 50 selects a desired image from the plurality of images stored in the memory 40. The recording unit 90 records the selected desired image and the output unit 92 outputs the selected desired image.

Abstract:
A vibrating device includes a dust-screening member which is shaped like a plate as a whole and has at least one side that is symmetric with respect to a symmetry axis, and a vibrating member secured to the dust-screening member and configured to produce, at the dust-screening member, vibration having a vibrational amplitude perpendicular to a surface of the dust-screening member. The vibrating device further includes a drive unit configured to drive the vibrating member to produce vibration Z(x, y) at the dust-screening member, the vibration being expressed as follows: Z(x,y)=Wmn(x,y)·cos(γ)+Wnm(x,y)·sin(γ) where Z(x, y) is vibration at a given point P(x, y) on the dust-screening member, m and n are positive integers including 0, indicating the order of natural vibration corresponding to a vibrational mode, W mn ( x , y ) = sin ( n π · x + π 2 ) · sin ( m π · y + π 2 ) , W nm ( x , y ) = sin ( m π · x + π 2 ) · sin ( n π · y + π 2 ) , and γ is +π/4 or ranges from −π/8 to −π/4.
Abstract:
A method of correcting distortions in digital images captured by a digital camera system includes capturing a visual image with a digital camera having a camera body, converting the visual image to a digital format to form a captured digital image, determining camera angle position data by measuring relative lengths of a plurality of beams passing between the camera body and an object to be photographed, and removing distortions associated with camera angle position based on the camera angle position data to form a corrected digital image. The method further includes storing permanently both the captured digital image and the corrected digital image in a single memory, and storing the camera angle position data as a picture file header associated with the captured digital image. The camera angle position data is selectively employed to form the corrected digital image and to enable removal of corrections from a corrected digital image.
